KILL BARGLE! [PFRPG Nostalgic Revenge Crawl] (Inactive)

Game Master Branding Opportunity

Yeah I think it was in the Blog, so I guess technically not official until publishing date.

What about sneak attacks & crits on undead & constructs? Mentioned during Beta, but I'm not sure it's in the book.

I believe, although I don't see it exactly in writing, that sneak attacks are allowed versus undead in the Beta.

Out of curiosity what system are you using for fumbles?

Ooh have actually seen those in play, the following week the dm decided to not use them, should be interesting to see what develops!

I've had some busy few days. Will post next round tomorrow eve (EDT).

I thought I was going to get some time tonight, but other duties called. Apologies.

No problem

Hey guys, spent the last 2 days driving from New York to Kanasas. My wife's mom is dying. I'll post when I can just to get my mind on something else.

So sorry, Mark; you've been having a terrible summer. :(

Sorry to hear about the sad situation, Mark. Post when you can, but obviously there's no pressure coming from us. Family is THE most important thing.

Yup, here's to the end of that.

Just a reminder (while I am reminded of it) that you can only fumble once per encounter (yeah, that's 4e creep, isn't it?) and that you can "bank" your crits in order to stave off fumbles.

Having said that, please keep track of your fumbles. I can see now that on the longer combats I will forget.

I'd like to try something different to try and speed things up a bit. I'm happy if you make your own rolls using Invisible Castle most of the time, but at certain times I will make them for you, just to speed things up. If we have to wait around for this many people to roll initiative before we start combat, well, we'll be waiting around a lot, especially if someone is busy and doesn't check these boards daily.

If you don't want me to roll for you, please feel free to roll initiative a bunch of times and post the results here. That way I can always come back here and pick your next roll.

Thanks,

BrOp

Yeah, sorry I've been busy the past few days and haven't had much of a chance to check other than to catch up and do a minor post here and there.

I have no problem at all being DMPC'd if I'm tardy.

I've been busy here and haven't checked in much. More to come very soon!

Hey folks,

Just to let you know, I'll be at GenCon this year (my first time ever!). If you're planning on being there as well, please feel free to stop by and say hello. You'll generally be able to find me in Paizo's "Pathfinder Society" room running games. I'll have a tag with my messageboard account name on it.

I have no problem with this haven't been able to use Invisible Castle so if it helps speed things up then by all means, I don't know if I've mentioned this here but am in the process of moving home which looks like it'll happen sometime between now and early september will try and update when I know exactly when but this might mean I can't post until I can change my details with my email provider and they acknowledge it.

So far only Zo, Ignacious and Rhade have posted their actions for this round. I feel a bit strange DMPCing half the party. Should I wait a bit more?

Particularly since they're the half that can keep this from being a TPK?

"Father Meghdad" posted a while back that he had a new job that was keeping him busy, and I don't think he's posted since. I've seen our paladin and sorcerer around the boards, though. Perhaps they just need a bit more time to come save us from being eaten? ;)

Will post soon

Back in the saddle. Thank you for your patience.

Hi folks,

Just want to let you know that between now and the end of GenCon my posting will decline in frequency a bit as I'll be very busy. I'm running 9 Pathfinder Society games there, so I have my work cut out for me.

I hope that after August 18th we can come back strong, as there is still plenty of good 'sploring to do in Castle Mistamere, not to mention confronting Bargle, of course.

Best,

BrOp

OK BrOp, I have a problem with Cordelia brought about by one of the Rules changes from BETA to PFRPG.

Hi folks,

I am back from GenCon where I had a great time running many, many games for Pathfinder Society.

Is everyone ready to pick up where we left off? I would also like to update the characters for the Pathfinder RPG game. If someone doesn't have the new tome, you can find the rules at such sites as http://www.d20pfsrd.com/

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Looking forward to getting back to Castle Mistamere.

Think I have Zo updated to Final rules now. A lot of trouble to go to just to get eaten by a harpy. ;)

Gregori updated Oh HELL YEAH!!!

Gregori updated Oh HELL YEAH!!!

Whooo! Go Team Paladin! Smite those harpies! :)

I'm still here! I've been catching up with work after returning from GenCon. Sorry about the prolonged silence on my end.

There are still a few folks who have not posted their actions for this round. As an apology for being gone for so long, and to get things started again, why don't all the enthralled PCs make another new and improved Will save to resist the effect of the harpy's song.

Also, it seems that MythrilDragon (Father Meghdad) has left us for good. He hasn't posted since June in character, and checking his page, it seems he hasn't posted as MythrilDragon since then either. We can either replace him and bring in a new character, get someone to play Father Meghdad's character or just loose him from the group entirely. The last option would mean no Cleric in the party, of course.

What is your preference?

BrOp

Did we do racial hit points in this game? If so, I guess I need to subtract 6 hp for Final rules.

It's a shame to lose Father Meghdad. His character had such an intergral tie to the mission, it'd be hard to write him out.

Yup, everyone just goes back to HD + Con modifier.

I agree :(

Took off my 6 HP. Zo still has 25 HP out of 3d8 with no Con bonus, so I must have put her favored class into hit points....

Never mind. We used Con score in this game instead of racial hit points, so I had to take off an extra 4. Too... many.... options... to remember!

I will be updating Iggie on Monday. If we're down a cleric, would it useful for Iggie to be slighly revamped to a Wizard 2/Cleric 1 of Abadar? I don't think much would change that has affected the game thus far.

I think this is a good idea, James.

Also, James, since Iggy is snapping out from under the "siren's song", he'll get to actually act this round! Go ahead and please post an action. Thanks!

BrOp

EDIT: As to Father Meghdad, why don't I just DMPC him for the rest of the adventure. That way I can have a little RP fun and the party can have more healing. If you still want to turn into a Cleric 1/Wizard 2, that's still fine.

I'll keep Iggie a Wizard then. He's more fun as an arcanist!

Sounds good. Remember there are some changes in the new rules. First of all you loose your bonus hit dice (Con score), so your hp should now be a more modest (but still quite adequate) 17.

I think you should also get more spells. Spells/day for a Wiz 3 with Int 16 is: 0-level 4, 1st-level 3+1, 2nd-level 2+1, with the +1 being conjuration spells of course.

Also, Copying spells into your spellbook is now MUCH cheaper. The total costs for 2 second and 1 first level spell is now only 90 gp (instead of 500). That means that you have 410 gp more gold than you did before. Care to spend it on something.

I'm also looking at the new celestial creature template released with the Bestiary preview (damn, I wish they'd publish it!). It looks like the "Smite evil" ability lasts until the targeted creature is dead. It also says that the creature gets its Cha mod as an attack bonus against the smitten creature and its HD as a damage bonus. Since the 3.5 fire beetle (as an example) has 1 HD, but only a 7 Cha, I'm going to rule that it gets a +1 to attack and damage until the creature is dead. Not bad for a little celestial critter, especially since it does 2d4 damage.

Also note that the summon monster tables have changed, and you are no longer able to summon the same creatures you did before.

More comments for others soon!

Adjusted Rhade accordingly, one question do we still get that bonus skill point for either a Craft or Profession?

Yes.

In other news, here are a few specific comments regarding character conversion. Please let me know if I did the math wrong, or if I didn't account for something.

Rhade:
Your max hp should be 30, I believe (10+7+7+6 Con mod), unless you take your favored class bonus in hp.
Speaking of which, where did you take your favored class bonus? I'm guessing skills, since I see 25 ranks in skills when you should only have 21 (6+Int bonus per level).
CMB +5, CMD 17

Gregori:
Max HP should be 30 (10 + 7 + 7 + 3 Con + 3 feat), unless you took your favored class bonus as hp.
All medium and heavy armors have gained a point of AC in the conversion, so your field plate should give you a +8 AC bonus.
You should be able to Lay on Hands 7/day with the "Extra Lay on Hands" feat (1 Level + 4 Cha + 2 feat).
Longsword damage 1d8+2
Warhammer damage 1d8+2
CMB +5, CMD 15

Zo:
HP should be 18 (8 + 5 + 5), unless you took your favored class bonus as hp.
Your Perception bonus at the top of your sheet should match the recalculated one at the bottom.

Cordelia:
HP should be 23 (6 + 4 + 4 + 6 Con + 3 Feat) unless you took your favored class bonus as hp.
Your Heavenly Fire ability now only works 6/day and does 1d4+1 points of healing or damage.
Your Bloodline Arcana now gives all summoned creatures DC 1/evil. I don't know if that would make you want to change your spell selection, but if you does, please go ahead and do so.
Heal is now a class skill for you, so if you put 1 rank into it, you would immediately get the +3 class skill bonus.

Father Meghdad:
Since I'll continue playing him, here are my changes.
He'll have 18 hp (currently 10).
Domain abilities are largely unchanged, although he can only use them 6/day.
He gets domain spells again, so he'll take Burning Hands and Produce Flame.
His spells per day are now 4/3+1/2+1
I'm going to remove his Combat Casting feat and take Selective Channeling instead.

Zo:

HP should be 18 (8 + 5 + 5), unless you took your favored class bonus as hp.
Your Perception bonus at the top of your sheet should match the recalculated one at the bottom.

I went back and checked the character generator, and I did put her favored class bonus in hit points so 21 should be correct. I don't know why the Perception at the top was off; it's a standard output from the generator stat block. I just deleted it.

Just wondering what everyone's status is. I've heard from Zo and Rhade recently. Is everyone else (with the exception of Father Meghdad, of course) still into the game?

Thanks,

BrOp

Yep will post soon

I will be out of town for the holiday weekend and only sporadically checking the boards. See you next week!

BrOp

I'll be unable to post in a few weeks time due to moving home (about the 19th of october) and since I don't know when I can get back online after this happens I'm letting you know now in case my internet provider starts resetting my access before I can give you more warning nearer the time

No problem. Thanks for letting us know.

So far, only Zo and Rhade have posted their actions for this round. I am loathe to DMPC everyone else, considering that's three other people. Is everyone else still around?

At the moment I can still post until the 10th hopefully as sometime that day i'll lose my internet connection until I move home and quite probably won't be back online until at least the 25th when it gets reactivated.

Sorry, a bit busy in real life. I'll head over there.
